A great moment of reckoning. Yet another entry into the World Cup finals, that too, the ICC T20 World Cup finals and a moment that was truly savoured by not just the huge numbers of people who had witnessed the enthralling saga at the Wankhede, but by the members of the victorious Indian Team; so many raw emotions were captured in a raw footage later beautifully posted over the social media account of Team India that in the immediate aftermath of beating England in the high octane semi final in Mumbai, are now preparing to Embrace the Blackcaps challenge.
The video begins with high octane emotion heavy and cheery montage of visual imagery beginning from Hardik Pandya running onto the ground with big cheer, the scene just after switching over to the other victorious members of the Indian team embracing each other.
Among them - Shivam Dube (who bowled the final over of England’s batting inning), Ishan Kishan (who struck a wonderful cameo to set a perfect tone for India’s big first inning total), and captain Suryakumar Yadav, who once again guided his troops to the best of his ability, embracing one other.
A cricketer with commitment to excellence and bowling smarts, Axar Patel can be then seen giving a warm brotherly hug to Shivam Dube; the two are delighted to celebrate the winning moment.
Such visuals not only sway the fans and impress them during moments of tension and nerves but become inspirational and etched in the cricketing conscience of a generation.
With India having conquered the penultimate stage of the battle for world T20 supremacy, having twice previously crowned themselves as champions of the world, only one more challenge remains in their way before they become 3-time ICC T20 World Cup champions.
